Chevigny received a B.A. in 1927 from Gonzaga University. Beginning in Seattle, Washington, he developed a successful career as a writer for film, radio and television. His first work was a radio series called Pioneer. In 1935, he moved from Washington to Los Angeles to become the director of the script department at CBS Radio.</p> <p>Chevigny's medical issues (detached retinas) led him to New York City to undergo multiple surgeries.
